Paul Fitzpatrick	561d9696aa	(core) clean up interaction of forward auth with session ... Summary: For self-hosted Grist, forward auth has proven useful, where some proxy wrapped around Grist manages authentication, and passes on user information to Grist in a trusted header. The current implementation is adequate when Grist is the only place where the user logs in or out, but is confusing otherwise (see https://github.com/gristlabs/grist-core/issues/207). Here we take some steps to broaden the scenarios Grist's forward auth support can be used with: * When a trusted header is present and is blank, treat that as the user not being logged in, and don't look any further for identity information. Specifically, don't look in Grist's session information. * Add a `GRIST_IGNORE_SESSION` flag to entirely prevent Grist from picking up identity information from a cookie, in order to avoid confusion between multiple login methods. * Add tests for common scenarios.
